The Senate could turn on her in the confirmation hearings. She could be hung out to dry.

uh–you’re aware that Papist is considered an anti-Catholic slur, aren’t you?

Also could end up on the Supreme Court if, and I hope this does not happen but Obama wins in 2012.

They’re positioning and spinning all the time. They lost. Now we seem to be handing them the farm.”

Barack Obama’s favorite song he stated is Bob Dylan’s Ain’t gonna work on Maggies Farm no more.

They don’t get who is keeping them on the Plantation- The Democrat Party…or they have surrendered? Barack Obama stylized himself as Hope and Change. This isn’t Change, I don’t see any HOPE aligned with the Democrat Party.

President Lincoln was a Republican! Earth to Obama what Price Glory?

Maybe because he doesn’t know what the hell he is doing.

When you go hunting for a bear, you best be prepared to catch a bear.

Why on earth is Obama so eager to have Hillary in the cabinet that he’s not only willing to risk leaks, backbiting, and drama, but willing to torpedo the ambitions of his closest aides in the process?

You really don’t understand just how much of a political neophyte the president-select really is, do ya, AP?

Above all she did not want to end up like Colin Powell who was completely out-manoeuvred by the hawkish Vice President Dick Cheney who imposed neo-conservative friends like John Bolton on the State Department and steered the US towards a policy of using torture to achieve its aims.

They just can’t help themselves to a gratuitous swipe, can they? Even when he is going out in 2 months, they just can’t find it in themselves to just say it straight, I’m sure they think it’s “just the facts, ma’am.”

Do tell. Even if one were to stipulate that, say, water boarding, is torture, what would those “aims” be exactly? Making the eeevil Dick Cheney the King of the World?

And as a previous commenter has noted, John Bolton is not a neo-conservative.

Heck, that was the first time I’ve been to Sunday School in about fifty years. It was much better than I remembered it to be. I actually enjoyed it.

Because, as I have posted time and again, and eventually even the mainstream press will have to report it.
Obama does not have the experience and relationships to build a cabinet.
He has only been around national politics for a few months, before running for the office. And running for the office doesn’t give you a chance to form relationships.
He is like the new kid in school…comes in with a swagger, but doesn’t know the players.
Clinton has a similar problem, only he back filled with Arkansas cronies, and his young, immature friends.
Obama’s circles are very small, his contacts relegated to his neighborhood, and a few senate buddies.
If he gets lucky, he will appoint someone strong along the way and the media will get to use him/her as a center post of great decisions…but so far his choices are weak, and at times strange…and indication of confusing thought and no real direction of policy.

It is long past time to quit carrying the burdensome neo-Liberal cross of PC habitual discrimination vs. opponents via the misapplication of identification.

Bolton is a conservative. There is no “neo” AS IF or newly defined exponent about Bolton’s conservatism. Conservatism preserves itself by definition. Conservatism has no “neo” quality, owning a persistent existence of its own conservation intact. And it has remained intact as a cultural element within America without a period of absence. Popularity is NOT a determining factor in the “existence” of conservatism.

The only “neo” attribute is in progressive propaganda, revisionism. One need not accept one’s own definition as attributed by one’s opponent, particularly when the opponent refuses to acknowledge RECORD, as the opponent can only thrive within REVISION.

Indeed, however, there are neo-conservatives who can not stand on a strict Constitutional platform. They require the moralizing progressive adjective “compassionate” and their programs are truly socialist in effect as they, too, dissolve conservatism via REVISION.

Progressive NEO-Liberals have nothing in common with Classical Liberalism. The neo-Liberal lack of tolerance swipes any respect from their midst that Classical Liberals had in moral mediation. Referencing socialists as “liberals” only feeds their cause. The fact that neo-liberals manipulate the demographics to corrupt the Constitutional system is nothing new. That so many endorse corruption is news.

“And to the Republic, for which it stands, One Nation!”

Democracy is only one hand of liberty. Without the rule of law Constitutional Republic BALANCE OF POWERS, democracy equates to mob rule.

Neo-liberals do not tolerate the Constitution. Therein, the revolutionary anarchist problem exists in the Obamanation. Every “liberal” Tom, Dick or Harry takes their ill conceived “moral superiority” to counter Rule of Law as they negotiate REVISIONISM in their own special interest spot in the universe. With all their selfish “good intentions” society at large is no longer unified by the Constitution as “liberals” have dissolved its application in daily life. Government employees use government facilities to hound law abiding civilians. Neo-Liberals do not bring, establish or maintain liberty; only subjugation to authoritarianism, aka Marxism.

Neoliberals via communism/fascism are destroying all of the social advances that The Enlightenment provided these past two centuries.

Quit enabling the abusive untouchables by voluntarily advancing their destructive propaganda; do not use THEIR REVISED VOCABULARY.

And the Word was with God.”

Because this is how God proves he still exists. ;-)

Murtha’s campaign war chest did not have the money to underwrite these toxic ads. The DNC and moveon.org had the funds to keep Murtha in place and attempt to destroy a sterling opponent to his seat.

Between radio/television ads and newspaper ones, Murtha was able to hoodwink passive or lazy voters who chose the familiar household brand. What a pity for Pennsylvania and the US.

Add to this travesty the fact that Murtha runs in an absurdly gerrymandered district that spans several counties and includes small towns heavily Democrat/Democrat-machine-controlled and union-filled communities, and the fix is in. Nevertheless, Murtha and the DNC had to spend a lot of money to maintain the senile codger’s sinecure.

Truly, there should be a mandatory retirement age for career politicians– perhaps 75. There is no excuse for a Congress filled with the likes of Murtha or Byrd. Others would come to mind if I weren’t so frosted over this stymie.
